Astronomy Day 06

[tfwthom]

National Astronomy Day 2006, held this year Saturday, May 6, gives astronomy-lovers a chance to share their passion with the astronomy-curious. Clubs, planetaria, observatories, and museums will host public viewing events, telescope workshops, hands-on activities, and presentations to increase awareness about the profession and hobby.<br /><br /> Astronomy Day 2006 partners <br /><br />Check with your local club to see what events are planned for your area.<br /><br />We do Astronomy Day on Friday May 5th in Sedona, found it works out better for us. Saturday May 6th I go to Phoenix/Glendale for an event at Thunderbird Park. (It's actually Astronomy Week with events planned all week) Arizona Science Center is planning all week events.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1" color="#3366ff">www.siriuslookers.org</font> </div>
